PlanNet Marketing congratulates Sam Kenny for achieving One-Star Director! Sam was born in Hexham, UK, and now resides in Solihull, UK. She tells us, “I’m a 28-year-old mum to my two-year-old. I started this while on maternity leave when my daughter was four months old, and I am coming up to my two year anniversary with PlanNet. As a Mom to a young toddler, my days are mostly spent running after my little whirlwind. However, we love our dog walks, spending time with close family members, renovating our new home and of course, travelling and making more memories together.
“I’ve travelled to some beautiful places in my 28 years, my favourite places being the Balearic Islands, Florida, Dubai, and Australia (where I briefly lived in Sydney). Since starting my travel business while on maternity leave, I was able to see how much more we would be able to travel and explore the world with my daughter. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, travelling abroad was not an option; however, that didn’t stop us having staycations down on the beautiful Cornish Coast. We’ve literally just got back from our most recent staycay this week! None of this would be possible for us without the business. I am truly grateful for the endless opportunities and memories we’ve been able to make.
“A tip I would pass on is to TAP INTO THE COMMUNITY! I can’t even begin to stress the importance of this for my journey, whether that’s PlanNet Locker Room Calls or your personal Team Celebration/Trainings, just stay connected and tap into that. Be coachable and absorb everything like a sponge, from your mentors and other directors/leaders that inspire you.
“I am so grateful to be part of such a successful team here in the UK! I’ve been able to develop my skills and knowledge and duplicate that down to some incredible women in my organisation who’ve connected their mission as well. It’s never been about me, but about my people and what I help them achieve, alongside my own success. I work in pockets of time and have a ‘no excuses’ attitude. The work will ALWAYS reward you, so making sure I do something every single day, even on the days I don’t feel like it, has rewarded me. Show up daily too! Let people see your journey and what this means to you, be a little vulnerable as people will relate more, and most importantly, nurture and build those relationships. I don’t have a huge family network, so I built one with my travel business family! Team work makes the dream work.
“A fun fact about me is that I’ve built my travel business during a pandemic when people weren’t travelling. If I can do this, SO CAN YOU!!”
